Azel woke up in a crypt with no memory of who or even what he is. When he encounters a rather unfriendly duo he discovers that his true nature is that of a ticking time bomb.

Desperate to maintain his humanity, Azel agrees to accompany the two to a civilisation that actively despises his nature. And it certainly doesn't help when he finds himself in the middle of a power struggle between individuals he can't even fathom.

A Zombie's Path to Power

Conjuring a blade with his mana, Azel kept the bastard sword in a two-handed grip. His opponents greatest weapons were their invisible dagger and uncanny speed, both of these things led the zombie to assume the night guard was an offensive fighter, and hopefully had a lacking defence.

So the zombie pressed forwards, hoping his sudden charge would stop the captain from finding any chances to use that enchanted stiletto he so proudly flaunted about. Seriously Azel was jealous, despite having a reasonably talented enchanter among their cohort, Gryphon refused to create any weapons for the zombie.

His bastard sword swung in a brutal arc, aimed at forcing the Night Guard onto the defensive. The captain twisted to the side, narrowly avoiding the strike, but Azel was already pivoting, bringing his weapon down again with relentless precision.
